It’s just a matter of efficiency, since when bugs are being marketed as a food source it’s usually presented as something to give to the backwards third world starving poors. Basically you get more calories/sq meter out of growing vegetables than from feeding and raising chickens. There’s also a more nebulous moral argument about how raising chickens for food makes them a commodity and open to more abuse, etc.
Basically we’re already overproducing food but a lot of that goes to cows or in the trash instead of to people who need food because muh invisible hand.
Well if they have enough space and aren't just bred and produced to be killed and enjoy life "kind of", it sounds better than industry farming. Subsistence will only be possible after this system dies, though.
This but with vegetables instead of sentient animal bits
